Thought I'd try out my leg on a fairly flat hike along the Congaree River on the 3 Rivers Greenaway Trail. Lots of people, dogs, bikes, joggers and walkers on this beautiful late Winter day. The high was around 80 and the wind was a little blustery at times. I walked about 2 miles and my leg felt fine. The river was up and people (mainly college kids) were playing on the rocks. The late Winter wildflowers were, of course, Vetch and Medick, along with Violets, Chickweed, Yellow Corydalis, Veronica, Dandelions and the beautiful Bloodroot (pictured above) that you always depend upon this time of the year. It's so called because a break in the plants, especially the roots, reveals a reddish sap. Was used as a dye and a herbal remedy by the Cherokees. Great day to walk and be alive. Everyone's got Spring fever!
